"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Still, I kept moving, breathing hard, and leaning forward to urge my old bike on. The wind whipped against my hoodie, taunting me with its ease.

I got this books last year in a giveaway, and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since. so in light of my 2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge, I've decided to pick it up. And it was a very good decision because this book is filled with humor and awesome pop culture references. Willa is such a fun protagonist to follow, and I can't wait to learn more about her "robin hood" escapades. Valley Prep is just like those schools you hear about from TV, rich and discriminating, but Willa is working to change all that! Fun and quick, I think you should all check out Pretty Crooked!
